In this course, instructor Alan Thorn is going to be giving a comprehensive introduction to Blender for Game Artists. Here, Alan will show you how to get up and running in Blender for creating animated in-game models even if you're a complete newbie! In the earlier volumes, you will be learning a range of topics that include: Blender (and 3d software) basics, primitive creation, 3D space coordinates, loading in reference material, and basic mesh manipulation. While near the end of the course, you'll start to feel like a game art pro as you begin to learn and understand the concepts of UV unwrapping, asset rigging for animation, animation creation, mesh exporting, and game integration.
